Romeyn de Hooghe was the most inventive and prolific etcher of the
later Dutch Golden Age. The producer of wide-ranging book
illustrations, newsprints, allegories, and satire, he is best known
as the chief propaganda artist working for stadtholder and king
William III. This study, the first book-length biography of de
Hooghe, narrates how his reputation became badly tarnished when he
was accused of pornography, fraud, larceny, and atheism.
Traditionally regarded as a godless rogue, and more recently as an
exponent of the Radical Enlightenment, de Hooghe emerges in this
study as a successful entrepreneur, a social climber, and an
Orangist spin doctor. A study in seventeenth-century political
culture and patronage, focusing on spin and slander, this book
explores how artists, politicians, and hacks employed literature
and the visual arts in political discourse, and tried to capture
their readership with satire, mockery, fun, and laughter.
